Name Time Method MSCT may improve (as compared to MPI) the diagnosis of patients presenting with chest pain complaints and an intermediate likelihood of CAD.<br /><br>Particularly in these patients, a non-invasive test with a high specificity (to exclude CAD) is needed to allow optimal management of patients. Currently, MPI is used for this purpose, but the specificity of MPI is suboptimal (70%).
